## Overview

Fluval Peat Granules (500g) are a premium, all-natural filter media designed to soften freshwater aquarium water by lowering pH and hardness. Compatible with over 15 Fluval filter models, these highly concentrated granules contain essential humic acids and trace elements that promote healthy tropical fish environments, especially for species requiring soft, acidic water. Ideal for breeding and maintaining discus, angelfish, and cichlids, the granules should be replaced monthly to maintain peak effectiveness. Trusted by aquarists worldwide, Fluval continues its legacy of innovation and quality in aquatic care.

## Description

Fluval Peat Granules are the all-natural way to soften aquarium water and achieve the pH levels required for breeding and rearing certain tropical fish. Peat contains humic acid, tanning agents, and trace elements that are essential for various life processes. Highly concentrated for maximum effectiveness, Fluval Peat Granules are recommended for fish that prefer soft, acidic water (i.e. desertcartian cichlids, discus, and angelfish). To ensure optimal conditions, it's best to test the water with Nutrafin pH and KH test kits on a regular basis to verify that desired levels are being maintained.Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come.

Review: A terrarium trend - Some of the leading people making terrariums commercially have started to incoporate aquatic peat, so I thought I would add it to my supplies and try it out. While I cannot attest to how long it functions for filtration, nutrition, or even before breaking down. But, I can at least comment on it's texture and base function as an aggregate. It should be noted, that this is a material designed to be used in aquarium filtration systems. When you pick up a single granual and pinch it very hard, most pieces will not crumble in the way perlite would. I would compare this product's texture to something closer to akadama or pumice, though I honestly hope it is more durable, as many people do not realize that akadama and pumice will break down over only a fairly short amount of time. My favorite aggregates are calcined clay or lava rock. The granuals here are comparable in size to the smaller grain calcined clay or standard perlite, though notably much more rounded and I expect that to contribute to helping them not break down just in terms of being a functional aggregate in a drainage system. In terms of providing filtration or mineral nutrients, I expect these to help filter the standing water until they start to break down physically. There is some talk that horticultural charcoal pulling nutrients out of the soil and if those nutrients are released once the hydrophobic bits finally take in water and break down. I do not know the scene enough to clarify those aspects. But, I expect this material to benefit my terrariums long enough that when it wears off maybe my terrariumns can be balanced enough on their own by then. Regardless, this is a very affordable product with a consistent scale that is practical when layering in conjunction with calcined clay, brown dirt, or red lava rock, but also when mixing with charcoal and black lava rock for a robust drainage system that filters in multiple ways. I plan to keeep this on hand unless I see signs of trouble. So far so good. Try it! It's cheap enough.
Review: The only product that successfully reduced my GH, KH, and PH - I was having troubles getting my exceptionally hard water to neutralize with other products such as the water softener pillow, and PH Down. The water was so hard, the PH Down would be completely ineffective. The water softener pillow was working too slowly for the severity of my hard water, even after multiple recharges, and my fish were showing signs of stress. I added about 100 grams of Fluval Peat to my 75 gallon aquarium filter in a media bag, and within 24 hours I noticed my fish were playing and more active again. The GH, KH, and PH are all dropping at a rate of about 1 unit per day, which is a safe level for most fish to adjust to. I would not recommend using the whole 500 grams of the product at one time, as the product packaging recommends for a tank my size. I used about 1/5th that with exceptional results. The soft yellow tint this product left in the water seemed to make the fish very happy, and even dampened the very bright lighting that came with my new tank. (I was worried the bright led light would stress the fish, but now it is perfect.) I very strongly recommend this product for fish tanks with exceptionally high water hardness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A terrarium trend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will slowly lower the PH
*by P***F on November 30, 2020*

I was having a major PH issue and needed to make the water a little more acidic. My tank really wasn't big enough for a piece of driftwood so this was the next best option. I put some in a bowl and rinsed it well and put it in a bag in my HOB filter. It has not lowered the PH all the way to a neutral 7 but that is because I have not added enough. It got it from 7.8 down to 7.2 or so. Everything is stable now. The fish are happy and the algae is nowhere the issue it was. I can add more later if needed but don't want to risk any kind of crash. Keep in mind I didn't use a whole lot and I always run carbon but there were no tannins at all that discolored the water. It is crystal clear and now has a safer PH. I put it in a zip lock bag and have plenty for any need in the future.
